What are good cuts for women who want a square face shape?
Fortunately, you have several options that allow you to mix up your cuts over time. Here are some good suggestions:
Long and layered: Long hair in layers creates a perception of a slightly longer face while the layers offer texture. Great choice. Tapered short: Yes, short options are available. Go short with a tapered cut to add the appearance of a vertical-oriented do. Layered Bob (Lob): For medium-length, choose the layered bob. Side parts: Whether long, medium-length, or short, a side part works great for a square face. Generalities: go with layers and side parts. Layers, especially when layered at ear level, create a tapering effect from the ears (i.e., jaw line) downward, which minimizes the square effect.
Bad cuts are…
Any cut that accentuates the squarish jaw. This includes long or medium-length hair without layers.
Cuts aren’t great unless they are very well-tapered. Probably best to have some length with layers.
Short and blunt bangs emphasize squareness, so you want to avoid that.
Is short hair okay for a squarish face type?
Yes, absolutely. However, opt for a side part with a taper to it which slightly narrows the appearance of your face.
What are stylish bangs?
Side-parted bangs are a very good option for a square face type. Whether a side-sweep or long part, this is a good option.
The worst bangs are…
Short bangs are a bad choice because they emphasize the squareness of your face.
Straight bangs aren’t the best either because they have the same effect. Of course, straight, short is the worst.
